Several Abilene Christian University faculty members received grants for research studies this summer.
Cullen or Math-Science grants were awarded to twelve faculty members, one faculty member in the Bible, Missions and Ministry Department received a national grant, and KACU-FM, the community radio station operated by ACU's Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, has received a community service grant worth $86,733 from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The Cullen and Math-Science grants are awarded annually to full-time ACU faculty members at or above the rank of instructor to complete a research project resulting in a tangible product by the end of the fiscal year.
